It's really a regression- in prior releases, we had the
pg_table_is_visible() test later in the WHERE clause, so that call
wasn't invoked as often. This all happened when Tom reworked the psql
SQL calls to be defined in an array instead of in-line'd (which was a
good change, but moved pg_table_is_visible() up to the front of the
WHERE clause, slowing things down).
